The huge New Year's Day crowd again shows the growing lure of the BBL compared to Test cricket.

More than 63,000 people turned up at the MCG for day one of the Boxing Day Test but the numbers were well down through the remainder of the rain-interrupted match.

Just 6189 fans were on hand to witness Australia's remarkable victory over Pakistan on day five, taking the total match attendance to 142,188.BBL crowds continue to grow, with Adelaide Oval in particular attracting consistently big numbers.

Friday's clash between the Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes set a new attendance record for a BBL match at the Gabba of 34,601 and was the first at the venue to sell out prior to matchday.
